You’re stranded in Tokyo. Not enough cash for a hotel. Where do you stay? Two Japanese businessmen decide to stay at a mankitsu, a manga cafe. Similar to an internet cafe, but you have access to Japanese anime, manga, magazines and even massage chairs! Gomi-san recommends Nana, a famous Japanese manga.
We’ll learn how to say “easy to do” in Japanese using the -masu stem + yasui. We’ll also show how to use this versatile grammatical construction to express ideas of “prone to do” and that things “tend to happen” in Japanese. This grammar point is the opposite of the -masu + nikui, which we learned in another Japanese lesson.
